The following days of training were the same for Helen. She spent them practicing the same tactics and other stuff like that. Ichabod had built her a hidden blade once she began learning how to fight off mutipule ooponients. It took a while, but eventually, Helen mastered it. Klaus was surprised at how fast of learner she was. "I must say, if you were a man, you'd make a fine Hessian. Wait..what am I saying? You've been one your whole life.",he said laughing slightly. Helen smiled her usual unreadable smile. Klaus ruffled her hair and said, "I never expected a girl to be the one. I was told it would be the first born son." Helen smirked then said,"Well clearly fate didn't see my brother Johann fit for this job. Fate saw my brother was more fit to leave his family to worry while he tours the middle east." Klaus wrapped his arm around Helen then said, "I know it's hard to watch family leave. You as a loved one is always left to wonder will they ever come home? Helen rested her hed on her great (and so on) great grandfather's sholder and said, "I never wanted him to join." Klaus said, "The Abendroth family was always noted for having one or two sons in every generation get involved in the soldiery." Helen looked at Klaus. "So Johann's just carrying on basic family tradition then?" Klaus said, "You can say that." Helen then said, "How did you get Daredevil?" Klaus replied, "I bought him off of a farmer in Hesse." Helen remained staring into the surrounding space then said, "I best head back to Katerina's. She wants me home for by the time dinner's fresh from the kitchen." Klaus stood up then said, "Have a good night. For tonight's homework,you must pratice stealth. My suggestion, try to sneak around town at night." Helen nodded then turned to leave for Katerina's house. While walking back to Katerina's house, Helen felt that she was being stalked by someone, or worse something. Suddenly, she heard a twig snap. She turned into the direction of the noise, her sword out. "Who's there?", she said sharply. She softly exhaled a breath she didn't know she had been holding. She soon dissmissed the noise as a squirrel running in the woods. Then, without warning, a man in a blue coat came out of the surrounding trees. Helen, since her powers weren't fully developed, trusted the blue coat. She immediatly sheithed her sword. The man then spoke. "Are you Helen Abendroth?",he said sweetly. Helen smiled and replied, "Yes sir." The blue coat then said, "Me and my men were sent to take you home." Out of nowhere, a couple more blue coats came out of the near by woods. One of the other blue coats said, "Don't be frightened of us girl. We're here to help you out." Helen didn't like the way he said those words, so she started to secretly scan for an escape route. Then the first blue coat drew out his sword and held it steadly to her throat, ready to behead her as he said, "That's right, because it's time for you to go..Now hold still hessian, I promise you won't feel a thing." Helen kept her cool and replied, "That's kind of you sir...I'm just not ready to leave yet!" Quickly drawing her sword Helen jumped right into fighting them.


Klaus was sharpening his sword, when he noticed Daredevil was getting restless. Klaus stroked Dardevil and said softly, "What's wrong Devil?" Daredevil whinnied and his thoughts went into Klaus' head saying, *Helen..blue coats..she's in trouble!* Klaus soon mounted his steed, and thundered off towards were Helen was. Meanwhile, Helen was avoiding and blocking blows, while she was trying to behead her enemies. One of the blue coats went to slice her head in two halfs, but she managed to block it. She then relized she was gonna be stabbed in the side. She managed to turn, and use her one free hand to drive her battle ax into the bluecoat behind her. He fell backwards, and like the other defeated bluecoats, disappeared. Helen had only one more blue coat to settle with. The blue coat smiled and said, "You're remarkable for a hessian of your age." Helen smirked and said, "I've got a good coach." The bluecoat then said, "I face your great (and so on) great grand father in the winter of '79. He nearly won, but I managed to behead him. You should've remained still like I asked you to. Archer told me to give you a painless death. Now I see you wish to go the same way the horseman did." That tore it for Helen, tired, but far from defeated she ran at him shouting, "Damn you!" Helen fought fiercely but failed to see the blue coat had a knife and cut her side with it. Helen screamed slightly then said, "You son of a bitch!" Her icey blue eyes glowing was the last thing the blue coat saw before she killed him. Klaus arrived to see the last blue coats body disappear into the air. Helen staggered to him. Klaus ran towards her and helped her remain standing. He then helped her on to Dardevil who took off towards Van Tassel Manor. Helen's armor was soon replaced by a night dress after her wounds were tended to. Klaus rubbed some of the blood red sap from the tree of death into Helen's wounds. Klaus remained at her side before he had to go back to the netherworld.


Helen woke up to see Masbeth entering her room. Masbeth said, "Good morning Helen." Helen said, " 'Sup Mas?" Masbeth quirked an eyebrow then said, "I beg your pardon?" Helen giggled then said , " 'Sup is short for what's up?, which means how are you? Mas is just short for Masbeth." Masbeth nodded then said, "I fine..and..'sup with you?" Helen shrugged then said, "Other than fighting undead blue coats I'm ok." The two laughed. Masbeth then said goodbye and left the room. Klaus shortly after entered the room. "How are you feeling?" Helen grinned then answered, "Sore as hell, but better. All I know is that I'll think less of of the fights that occur in my school." Klaus chuckled then said, "To think I would be back on my feet today. You have to get better faster during war in my time." Helen laughed. "Life must've sucked for you. No offense." Klaus shook his head. "No Helen, life in my time was no better nor worse than life in your time, just different." Klaus soon left after saying goodbye to Helen. Helen though, was in for more than she bargined for.
